FORScan Bronco Working Spreadsheet (double honk, sport mode, chimes, seatbelts, and more!)

[CalvinT]

Thanks to everyone who's contributed to this and other Forescan threads. I finally got around to making changes. I wanted to make them in one or two sessions so I'd only need to license FORSan one time. I had some difficulty getting my Bronco to talk to the OBDII EX adapter. Could have been a problem with my laptop (Win 10).

I made the following changes.
Global close windows,
Added factory subwoofer,
Double honk delete,
Panic alarm two presses,

I thought about adding Sport Mode, but others have reported problems with having eight G.O.A.T. modes. The G.O.A.T. modes worked find, but people have reported display problems and deleting ECO mode is problematic. Also I have a manual, so Sport Mode woudn't do much for me because of #2, I left ASS alone. It doesn't really bother me, plus the Bronco turns it off in the summer because of A/C.

Anyway, thanks again.

just remove eco mode, it's useless

just remove eco mode, it's useless

How? Everyone talks about removing it but I haven't seen anyone telling how to do it, and I've looked, a lot.

Even if I do remove it, I still won't activate Sport Mode. For me, I see no need.

In Forscan, load up the ABS module (easy mode) don't recall the name, but look for the values of the GOAT mode names, they should be grouped together, and then disabled ECO. Its the same as if you were going to enable SPORT mode.

On my 2025 Badlands I added Sport mode and initially had 8 modes... like that's been reported, everything worked as it was supposed to, just on the dash the last one in the sequence, Rock Crawl didn't have it's label at the top and it was a generic blue Bronco screen, but it was switching the settings. I ran it like that for a month or so, no issues and no codes. All of the setting changes that I did were via manually changing the values using Forscan ("As Built" modules).
About three weeks ago I went back in, verified it still was not kicking any codes, and while I was messing with it decided to disable Eco mode. Because I couldn't find the value to change in the "as Built" module I just did it via the other ABS module listed in Forscan, using the "easy method". Picked the right Eco mode, it was enabled, changed it to disabled... went thru my routine of after modifications checks of a few ignition cycles, rebooting the vehicle, checking for and clearing any codes.... then took it out to test the different modes. Then when I got back home checked for any codes and there were none.
Soooo, I'm back to 7 modes, but with Sport mode instead of Eco. The dash's display behaves normally, and Rock Crawl's title is back and its a reddish orange Bronco rock crawl picture. IMO, Eco mode was a waste (actually got slightly worse MPG's), and trading out to Sport mode was a no brainer for me... For the last three weeks I used Sport mode frequently, and checked for codes again early last week and all was good.

But that went sideways last Thursday when a turkey buzzard came running up on the 2 lane highway from the ditch I was on didn't even see it in time to do anything but try to brake...
Lots of expensive plastic bits in that grill and shutter system... but it should be ready today or tomorrow... and I can give the rental car company their POS Mazda back

I’ve been using eco mode since the US attacked Iran and my mpg increased from 19.1 to 19.3. Mostly rural driving, not a lot of stop/go. , lots of cruise control. For my driving style it doesn’t seem that effective. If you’re getting a lot worse than 19mpg then eco mode might help.

Sport mode is great. The shift schedule alone is worth that change.

Mine doesn't show easy mode for the ABS module and I'm running the latest version. I just downloaded it last week and got the two month license.

Thanks. You get an award for being the first (to my knowledge) to post those values in a clear, unambiguous manner.

I found the following post by Hatman, but it was too vague for me to rely on it. His comment "But there are also changes you may need to make to 760-04-02." made me hesitate.

He didn't say what the other changes may be nor how he gained his information.

re if you ever got a response for this. On the non Raptor Broncos, the eco mode is programmed together with sand and slippery. On 760-04-03 it is x1xx xxxx xxxx. (In case the font is odd, it’s the number 1 in the second slot. If eco is off that slot would be 0.) But there are also changes you may need to make to 760-04-02.

I tend to be cautious about making changes unless I understand the full implications. Seeing it as an Easy Mode setting makes me more confortable that someone has done their homework.

I used the spread sheet to locate the address, then made changes via easy mode, then loaded up the AS-BUILT section to find the address changes

Here are my screenshots of the two values I gave you

I didn't see any changes to the -02 address

 

[CalvinT]

Thanks again, I'm surpised that in almost three years, with all the posts about ECO mode, only you and Hatman have posted the raw values.

I would have done the same and posted the results if I had found an Easy mode setting for ECO mode.

My concern was that Ford might have buried other settings and changing just one could cause a conflict.

 

[jsoa]

Yea I think easy mode is used mostly, and honestly im not an expert in this, easy mode makes this super simple. If anything I want to change isn't in easy mode, I hesitate for sure.

What are modes 3, 5, 7?
